Vennquerbahn Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Vennquerbahn cycle path is really perfect to ride on all types of bikes. If you follow it from Germany towards Belgium, it leads steadily uphill, but very moderately.

Water pump station for steam locomotives on RAVeL L45A

Highlight • Monument

Coming from Germany, it is always uphill, but with an e-bike it is very moderate and problem-free.

Old Water Crane for Steam Locomotives (Buchholz)

Highlight • Monument

A relic from days gone by to look at. But information boards along the route also tell of these times. In the meantime, the station has been a bit embellished and there is also a nice break bench.

The Vennquerbahn cycle path is very well developed and very easy to drive on. Smooth asphalt and plenty of opportunities to take a break.

Kronenburger Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Kronenberger See, in the extreme southwest of North Rhine-Westphalia, is really beautifully located and a good starting point for activities in all directions.

A super well-kept bike path, you really want to keep going. Lots of rest stops along the way. The lower piece was a detour but everything was well signposted. I'm looking forward to the next tour.

Coincidentally, the tour resembles the shape of a pair of glasses... and there were border experiences both across federal states and across countries... and there was also a view of the remains of the West Wall, which also provided some special border experiences.

Unfortunately, the first 10 km are missing from my recording. I noticed it at Kronenburger See and everything from then on is included.
